Covid drug bamlanivimab arrives in Czech Republic

The first delivery of the coronavirus drug bamlanivimab has arrived in the Czech Republic. The antibody drug helps patients avoid a serious case of Covid. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said on Thursday that the drug had been received at Prague’s Thomayer Hospital, which will pass it on to other hospitals.

Mr. Babiš said the Czech Republic was among only 12 states in the world to have access to the drug.

Next month the first doses of another antibody drug, produced by the firm Regeneron, should also reach the Czech Republic.
